China Climate & Weather

China Climate and Weather

China covers extensive territory and has a complex topography,
therefore the weather differs substantially from region to region.
The southeast, below the Nanling Mountains, tends to be very wet
with high temperatures all year round. In the central Yangtze and
Huaihe River valleys there are four distinct seasons with very hot
summers and extremely cold winters, and rain all year round. The
dry north experiences a short but sunny summer, with long, bitterly
cold winters (between December and March), with temperatures in
Beijing dropping as low as -4ºF (-20ºC). The coast is
humid and experiences Typhoons during summer. Travellers are
advised to research the climate for the specific region they are
visiting.
